    Got this a local pond North of Boston MA. Have no idea what it is. It's easily cut and replanted. Any ideas?

    Finnex 48 inch planted plus

    Would adding a third light be pointless on a 75 gallon planted tank? I have Co2 on the tank and fertilizers ect. Also would going higher on the K value do anything for the growth of the plants?

    Does anyone really use these? I'm definitely not in the market. Just found it on Amazon and was thinking it was useless.

    Bubble counter Water V.S. Mineral oil

    What's the difference? The instructions from Aquatec-of California said DO NOT use oil. So I'm kind of weary to use it.

    PH Drop checkers problem

    So I have two different Co2 drop checkers. They are reading different colors and I can figure out why. Any ideas on why this is happening? The top one seems correct but the glass one that's 4 inches down is very light yellow. Finish are not gasping at surface at all.

    DIY Co2 Reactor

    What end should I have the Co2 input be on bottom/top? I can flip it both ways but have seen some keep it on the top where the water input is and some on the bottom as it exits the reactor.

    Finnex Planted+

    So I have 2 of these on my 30 gallon tank. Would this be concidered a Medium light tank? I also have 2 more of the same Planted+ but 48" and going on my 75 gallon tank. Would this also be a medium light tank? The 30 has no Co2 injection and the plants are doing great. I only put co2 booster and...

    Filtration question

    So I'm going to set up my 75 gallon tank soon. The question is that I just purchase a Fluval 406 and I also want to add it to my tank for extra filtration. The tank has a DIY overflow going into a trickle filter that sits in a sump tank. From there the return goes back into the tank into an...

    Upgrade Sump return

    So this is my new sump return pump for my DIY overflow/trickle filter system. I had a smaller pump that was rated at 630 GPH. I wanted more flow and purchased the Aqueon 4500. Put a check valve on it just in case of a power outage. Also attached a ball valve to control the intake flow.

    Fish tank water cloudy.

    So my tank water is getting cloudy after a week of test running. There is no fish or gravel in the tank. Just water and no heater. I am testing my DIY trickle filter overflow system. The water is straight from the tap. Any ideas on why it's getting cloudy?

    Molly's sick HELP.

    I can't figure out what's wrong with them. Some have a grey building over there eyes and they are scratching themselves on the face wood in my tank. I've been using halo shield broad spectrum and Pimafix Melafix for three days now and it's not doing anything. I'm going to remove the real wood as...

    Co2 system

    I have the fortune to work at a company that has dry ice all the time. Question is; can I use this to put CO2 into my fish tank? Instead of doing all that yeast Type co2 system? I also have a spiral of metal in coil that I can use to heat up the gas before it enters the tank or at least bring it...

    PVC Overflow system question.

    So what my question is; how high can I make the output into my wet dry filter on the overflow? I've seen a lot of pictures on the Internet where the output into a wet dry filter from the overflow is very low on the PVC pipe. If I put it higher up will I lose flow rate? Or should I put it lower?

    Under gravel jet system question.

    I'm building an underwater gravel jet system. I have an Aqueon 3000630 GPHModel 1. How many jets can I add to my system for the 630 GPH pump and still get an effective out flow for my 75 gallon tank?

    Under substrate jet system question

    Was doing some research on an under gravel jet system. I saw pictures with this plastic grate system in place between the pipes. Any ideas on what it's for? Any info appreciated. I do know it's a grate for fluorescent lighting for lowered ceiling but I just don't know why it's in the tank.

    Cutting out a plastic part of the top rim?

    If I cut out the top divider on my 75 gallon tank will that compromise the integrity of the tank when filled? Just a thought as I don't want a shadow area if I buy a Finexx light 48"

    Show off your mollies

    Both from swampriveraquatics.com Both males. I was kind of pissed when he sent me that Dalmatian looking Molly when I ordered a female (Buterly) that's how he spelled It from what I remember. Nice fish so I'm not that concerned.

    Pregnant Molly?

    I've had mollies before I've bred them but this one confuses me. It is a green sailfin Molly from Swamp River aquatics. I can't tell if it's pregnant or not. It not fat and round but has the gravid spot. It didn't have it a week ago so it's throwing me off. I've had gold dust mollies drop and...

    Marine salt V.S. API aquarium salt.

    I've been using API aquarium salt to make my tank brackish. Should I be using Marine salt instead? My tank is basically mollies with the exception of 2 peppered Cory catfish. Plus some Zebra snails and ghost shrimp.
